SHEFFIELD-The Ritz Theatre is celebrating the holiday season with a series of Christmas movie screenings and special events. On Dec. 16 and 17 at 6 p.m., The Ritz will host its The Polar Express family holiday event. Throughout the month of December, the Ritz will also be screening classic Christmas films. Tickets for all events are available at tennesseevalleyarts.org or 256-383-0533.

Each Polar Express event will start at 6 p.m. with festive family fun at the Ritz Theatre complex, which will be decked out for the season! Participants will get to ride a trolley with Santa, enjoy hot cocoa and cookies, and make an ornament. Then at 7 p.m., everyone will watch The Polar Express on The Ritz’s big screen.

Last year’s Polar Express events sold out, and tickets must be purchased in advance. Tickets are $18 and include everything except for extra concessions during the movie.

In addition to The Polar Express, The Ritz will also host four more screenings of classic

Christmas films. These movies are It’s a Wonderful Life on Dec. 9, Christmas Vacation on Dec. 13, Elf on Dec. 20, and Disney’s A Christmas Carol on Dec. 22. Each of these screenings will take place at 7 p.m., and tickets are $10 (available online and at the door).  Concessions will be available, including fresh popcorn, hot cocoa, wine, beer, soda, water, and candy.

“Our beautiful historic theatre is decorated and ready to welcome you,” says Christi Britten, the executive director of the Tennessee Valley Art Association, which runs the Ritz Theatre. “We’re excited to provide some holiday magic for you to enjoy with your family and friends.”
